A new CMOS tunable floating capacitance multiplier

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a new tunable complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) floating capacitance multiplier. The multiplier uses the translinear principle with metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors operating in the sub-threshold region. The multiplication factor is tunable to meet the design requirements. The Tanner T-spice simulator confirms the functionality of the design using 0.18-µm CMOS Technology. The circuit operates from a supply voltage of ±0.75 V and the capacitance can be magnified 300-fold.
